<Range mode intro snipped> (...) I'd redefine it something like this....use upper case BASE @ HEX \ To keep from evaluating HEX every time... : RANGE_SET ( f -- ) \ non-zero is long, 0 is short >R FFB7 DUP C@ R> IF FFFE AND ELSE 0001 OR THEN SWAP C!

(...) Just scanned through Kekoka's excellent dissection of the ROM routines. Seems like system variable/register at address $ff7b contains the relevant Long range/Short range bit flag, ie. bit 0 toggles the IR range 0 = Long, 1 = Short. Could I (...)

(...) I like the solution proposed by many Forht packages (by hForth in particular): there is a basic kernel and a few different variations with optional wordsets.

(...) Sergey, This is an EXCELLENT idea. On an old project I used to work on, I actually used an SREC dump routine, but here the tower would cause problems because the PC would keep having to poll for addresses.

Hello, Being bored uploading all the optional libraries to my pbForth system all the time, I’ve reinvented the wheel and implemented SAVE-SYSTEM word.
